I accidently deleted my campaign, and was never warned by a prompt?

Hello. Title says it all...

I accidently deleted my campaign... and I never got a  Yes/No prompt before it just accept the click.

Okay - when i wanted to make a new campaign, and i used the same name, i was told that already existed.

So.. after a bit of digging in AppData - i found the campaign, but i can't seem to make the game load the files.

Now it gets really weird... When i wanted to delete another campaign.. it had a prompt asking me if i was sure i wanted to do this.. I wonder if i've encountered a bug?

Edit: I successfully restored my campaign. But i still find it odd my campaign deleted itself like that...

For the sake of google travelers in years to come, how did you restore it? 

It might be a bug and it’d be nice to have a workaround in the mean time.    Also, see if you can recreate it with an empty campaign.

Oh right! of course:

So - If you accidently delete your campaign, the file is not deleted, it's like the game gives itself amnesia and forgets the folder is there. So what you do is:

 

1. Make a new campaign, and create a save. (make sure to change the name a bit so it doesn't overwrite the old.
2. Go to:
C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\LocalLow\Intercept Games\Kerbal Space Program 2\Saves\SinglePlayer

3. Find your old campaign folder. Copy the latest saves there and dump them into your new campaign folder. 

4. boot the game, load the campaign and load the old saves. make a new save - so the newest save is the old campaign.

 

At least that was how i did it.
